US frees up funding
Article Abstract:
The US government has allocated $3.2 billion in the federal budget for FY 2001 for funding construction and development projects in the country's airports. The government has also allowed airports to increase the passenger facility charge from $3 to $4.50, which is seen as critical to the survival of smaller airports. Still, the Airports Council International North America and the American Assn of Airport Executives want the government to make further investments in airports. Both groups argue that as much as $10 billion have to be spent annually to solve capacity shortages in airports.
